Dockers full-back Zac Dawson has been cleared of three incidents, including a match-day report for striking Geelong forward James Podsiadly before the first bounce of Saturday's fiery qualifying final.

The panel dismissed Dawson's report for striking Podsiadly after looking at video footage of the incident and receiving a medical report from the Cats.

"It was the view of the panel that Dawson used an open hand in his action and that the contact was below that required to constitute a reportable offence," the AFL said.

The panel also investigated Dawson for an incident with Cats midfielder Mathew Stokes in the first term.

Stokes was interviewed and the Cats also filed a medical report on him before Dawson was cleared.

"It could not be determined conclusively that a reportable offence had occurred," the panel ruled.

Dawson also made contact with Geelong captain Joel Selwood in the final term, colliding with him as the Cats midfielder passed.

"It was the view of the panel that Dawson's actions were not unreasonable or unnecessary in the circumstances," the AFL said.
